Napster Problems

[Lion'el-Jonson]

Hmm, have any of you had trouble with the new version of Napster? It says that I am sharing 0 files but I've been sharing 84 until now.....help?

[IceHawk]

What's wrong with not sharing?

Yeah it saves you bandwidth

[Ninjahh]

some people are too generous...

but its still really annoying, and everyone is leaving it cuz of the filters.

I wonder when a new type of Napster will be out with 1337 songs.

[Chrismas]

American cheese is my favorite, no im not racist.

but its really expensive

[fugitive316]

It did that to me eariler, but then I reconnected and it said I was sharing.

And there are plenty of ways to get around the filter.

Pig Latin
Special text chars
Mispellings
Capitalization errors

or the easiest way is to put the title of the song.

Napster is fun

Or you could not upgrade like me! *Running beta 7*

Why don't you try using one of the other 10+ clones that are just like napster but much much better? Napster is just full of fools who know nothing about computers and only heard about it becuase of all the press it is getting on tv, newspapers, etc.

Some good alternatives:

Gnutella, and MusicCity Morpheus.

[Zulithe]

I have yet to find an alternative for Napster that I liked using as much

Napster is just awesome, if it wasn't for all the damn file blocking, argh!

All of the 'next generation' napster clients are inferior in one way or another. Especially gnutella and everything that uses its system (like bearshare, limewire) because it is far far slower to find the files you want

Use Imesh or Kazaa.

see that is part of the problem, there are so many different clients now, everyone is using different ones. It is making it harder to get what you want.

Before, everyone used Napster so it was very easy to find a song. Now, everyone is spread out

[Crono Illusion]

Where can I get Imesh?

[Spunky2000ca]

Back to the main question.
I think its like that cause of the filters.
Those 80 or so files.... who were they by?
basically anyone after the beatles has been blocked (AKA filtered out)
and im dropping the use of napster
I now use some retarded program called "Rapigator"
It has an option where u can connect to a lot of servers.
I only got Napster and Swaptor on my list though...

no sharing on napster is good
